YouTube pro-paramilitary videos must be removed, say politicians

POLITICIANS in the North have demanded hundreds of videos glorifying republican and loyalist paramilitaries and violence be removed from the internet.

Many hours of footage of IRA, UDA and UVF violence has been catalogued on YouTube, including a large number of propaganda videos celebrating how the IRA “beat” the British army.

In numerous videos the last minutes of the lives of two members of the British SAS are captured, as they are dragged from their car, bundled into a black taxi and driven away to be executed.
